He lags on providing order statuses even after telling you to email yet has all the time in the world to post on the Instagram page about their in person jobs.
Not a good look. Currently in the process of trying to get my order cancelled.

I genuinely didnt know about this dude having issues until after I ordered.
I found his shop on google as I was looking for 5100s for my t4r.
Requested a cancellation after over 2 weeks of very little updates and noticing that he focuses a ton on local jobs and prioritizing them and posting on instagram about it.
Even filed a paypal claim against him in case my request for cancellation gets ignored.

That seems to be his MO. Always posting about the work he is doing in his shop. So if you are willing to go to his shop, it seems like you can get stuff done. He keeps coming up with the same tired excuse "I am a one man shop", he has been using for years.

He recently responded to a comment I made nearly a year ago to "set me straight" and all I saw was the lack of communication and cluelessness that he's always displayed, and since he literally took almost a year to respond to something I said on fb. I can't believe anyone is still giving that dude their money. I'm sure a few months from now he'll come along and promise that everything is different now, but over the years I always see the same lame ass excuses time after time

He also always claims that things are different now and he's improved this that and the other, yet everyone is still on here complaining that they never hear back from the dude for months...

I am seriously shocked no one has come up with a good alternative to his DRL/Switchback fog light bezel. That is literally the only thing I would buy from him and there is a reason I don't have them.

I agree, I wonder why no-one has come up with an alternative here!
I bet he doesn't have these things patent pending either.
There were people here that talked about making their own, but I never saw any results.
I would think that they could be sold here and on other sites if someone made quality stuff and was reliable in filling orders!

I did. It cost me $100 to buy factory bezels, the LED lights strips, and waterproof connectors, but this was a year ago and I've had kids since then and don't have the time to make them. Nor do I have a 14+ so I never actually installed them, only made one side of them.
If you're halfway competent with DIY you can make your own. I used 12" flexible LED strips from superbrightleds.com and used waterproof connectors for them (also something he doesn't do from what people have posted).
What he's doing isn't challenging, people just want to buy a "ready-to-install" kit which even his requires wire taps.
I haven't done anything with switchbacks but even the science behind those wouldn't be hard.

I would think the best LED would be a 12V COB flexible waterproof light strip,
side bending that would illuminate forward.
I continue to look for this.
Like I said..... I have yet to see any that have materialized on the forums.
If you have some, that have turned out worthwhile, please post up some pics with details of items used and if you are satisfied.....
Why would we have to count on someone like AJ to fulfill our mods?

Always tripped out how many people give this douche a good review on Facebook.
When I know there's this review thread of him. Got me double checking myself. Next time someone says his name. I'm dropping this thread review.

Same, and I would never give that guy a dime especially after seeing how he made other members wait upwards of a YEAR for a paid for product. I have definitely lived without and would never give this guy the time of day. But don't worry, he'll be along in 6-8 months to tell everyone how he has changed and things are different now, even though they aren't.....
